QR Code Lesson Ideas QR Code or Quick Response Code is a symbol that can be scanned by an app on a cell phone. Teachers are finding ways to integrate QR code in the classroom to make learning more interesting.
When editing please do not delete lessons just add yours to the bottom.
Lesson Description: Students will create a QR Code that will be linked to a definition of one of their Science WOW (Words of the Week). This will be done for all 34 of the words that have been learned so far. Every student will be responsible for creating a QR Code for either 1 or 2 words. They will begin by clinking on the link http://qrcode.kaywa.com/(which will be found on my homework online). Under “content type:” the students will select the “Text” bubble. Once they have completed this, the students will enter the definition in the box provided under “Content.” Students will then the select the size, which will be small. Once all steps have been completed, students will click on the “Generate!” button. Once the QR Code has been generated, the students will right click right above the code and select “Save Image As.” They will then name title (with their name) their QR Code and save to the desktop. Once it has been saved to the desktop, the students will open up Word and drag the picture onto the word document. Students will need to put the corresponding number under their QR Code. Once the QR Code has been copied to word and has the correct corresponding number, students may select print. Once the QR Codes are created and printed, student will tape them around the room. The next day, students will walk around the room with a clipboard and a piece of paper numbered 1-34. The students will then use iPods to scan the QR and write the correct word that matches with the definition.
Sucesses: Students were always engaged and eager to learn more. They loved the fact that they got to take their Science WOW test using iPods as well as being able to walk around, something that is not normally done during a test.
Things you would change: There’s nothing that I would really change. Everything came out as planned. Just make sure to monitor the students closely and that they follow all instructions.

Subject Level SE's: SE’s are from across the grade level in science.
Any Extra Information You Want to Share:
Make sure to give clear directions and that no student works ahead.
When saving, make sure they put their name as well as the number that corresponds with the word.
Students will love this lesson. They will want to make QR Codes for everything. J
